Yeah It would be tight if they came out with an srt dak. I mean think about it a dak with 425 horses, who's kiding who the silverado ss would be nothing on the strip, hell it would probably smoke the ram srt-10. Anywaz I have a 2000 dak sport and I would love to drop a hemi in my truck. My buddy has a 2000 F-150 with a 5.4 and I'm alittle faster, I'm running a 4.7 w/exaust and he's running exaust & Intake,but mine is a standard and his is an auto. With a hemi in my truck I could keep up with the lightning.

I think it'd actually be neat to go the other way with the Dak, more like a mini Power Wagon....

Yeah the Hemi will fit for sure in a 2nd gen dak, I have seen one, not sure of 3rd gen though. I would bet it would.

Sooo... bringing up an old topic... but....

Anyone have links to Hemi swaps in 2nd gens? Im just starting to look, as I just picked up a 2001 Club Cabl SLT with a 4.7 and 269,500 miles on it.... you read that right...


So, a little searching and the Hemi is cheaper and more avail in my area then the 4.7.... You can see where I am going with this ;)

With the great amount of money I saved off the purchase price, Im itching to find a Hemi :)
(the dealer had the truck on the lot for the last 11 months with this mileage and couldnt move it, and lost about 5 grand on it )

If you listen to dealer, crap you’re insane. I know much more than any dealer about Dakotas through my own research. Dealers don't spend any time researching anything. The crap that falls from mouths is comical. They are lost! and don't care about being lost as long as you leave them a check. You will get the answer you’re looking for at that moment as long as you’re looking to buy. And NO the Gen3 Dak frame is NOT the same as the Durango. Close but no cigar. The fender wells are far narrower on the Dak Gen3s also. The Gen2 Daks and Gen1 Durango’s where identical but neither offered a Hemi and it doesn’t mater now anyway. Now I'm not saying you can't fit a Hemi in a Dak Gen3 it just won't drop in. You will need to do quite a bit of shoe horning or cut and welding etc.

There was another site for Dakotas called DakotaTrucks.com.  They had a guy there that was installing a 6.1 Hemi into his 05 Dak.  I know they got it installed, but I don't know what happened since.  The guy installing it changed the forum, for the third time since I was on it.  You can ask him what the final outcome was.  This was last year, so I don't know what happened.  His name is Lynn, so you can ask him.

well basically what i did was purchase the 206 cams from www.hrcperformance.com and had them installed in my 05 4.7 dak. now with this kit and the pcm flash i hang with stock hemis in the 1/4 mile or even on the street. it is nice to pull up to a fullsize and nod. when the big guy is laughing and the light turns green its no more of a laughing matter. i am on his door step all the way down. so as far as putting a hemi in a dak would be useless. they would detune the snot out of it. like when chevy brought back the ss 454 in the pick up 200 horsepower why. now the new 4.7 kicks out 290 horses and 320 ft lbs of trq. that should be a fun ride
